WHAT YOU WILL DO

In this full-time position reporting to the CFO, you will be responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting, compliance, and internal control environment, with a specific focus on the unique requirements of the beverage-alcohol industry. You will ensure timely and accurate financial disclosures for regulators, auditors, lenders, and shareholders, while also managing liquor license compliance, excise tax reporting, LCBO J-10 filings, and industry rebate submissions. As Corporate Controller, you will provide leadership to the accounting team and safeguard the integrity of both financial and regulatory reporting.

  • Lead the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements, MD&A, and securities filings in compliance with IFRS and TSX-V requirements.
  • Oversee annual audits, interim reviews, and all external financial reporting deadlines.
  • Manage lender reporting packages, including borrowing base reports, covenant compliance, and other submissions.
  • Coordinate corporate and indirect tax filings (excise, HST, income tax), working with external advisors as needed.
  • Act as the key contact for auditors, regulators, and external stakeholders.

Liquor Industry Compliance & Reporting

  • Maintain and manage all liquor licenses, ensuring compliance with AGCO, LCBO, and provincial regulations.
  • Oversee excise tax filings and ensure accuracy and timeliness of payments.
  • Prepare and submit J-10 filings to the LCBO, ensuring compliance with all consignment and reporting requirements.
  • Administer applications and claims for government and industry rebate programs (e.g., VQA support program, GMDF A&P, wine subsidy programs).
  • Monitor changes in industry regulations and ensure the Company remains compliant with all provincial and federal requirements.
  • Internal Controls & Governance

  • Design, implement, and maintain strong internal controls across financial and regulatory processes.
  • Ensure all liquor-related compliance filings are supported by proper documentation and reconciliations.
  • Establish, monitor, and enforce accounting policies and internal control procedures.
  • Drive continuous improvement in ERP (Sage 300) and financial systems to strengthen accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.
  • Accounting Operations

  • Oversee daily accounting operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, treasury, and general ledger management.
  • Lead the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes.
  • Manage reconciliations of key balance sheet accounts, including excise tax liabilities and consignment inventory.
  • Monitor cash flow, AR collections, and working capital metrics.
  • Costing, Inventory & Deferred Cost Accounting

  • Oversee the Company’s inventory and production costing, including the capitalization and deferral of winemaking and production-related costs across bulk wine, work-in-process, and finished goods.
  • Maintain and enhance cost allocation methodologies to support accurate product costing, margin analysis, and vintage-level profitability.
  • Perform ongoing inventory valuation, count and aging reviews, working with Operations and Winemaking to ensure costs remain accurate and recoverable.
  • Leadership & Team Development

  • Manage and mentor accounting team members, fostering a culture of accuracy, accountability, and compliance.
  • Provide coaching and training on both technical accounting and liquor industry regulatory requirements.
  • Ensure the team is audit-ready and aligned with corporate governance best practices.
  • WHAT YOU WILL BRING

  • CPA designation (CA, CMA, or CGA) required.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; MBA considered an asset.
  • 7–10+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, with at least 3 years in a senior controllership or reporting role.
  • In-depth knowledge of IFRS and external financial reporting.
  • Experience managing liquor licenses, excise tax filings, LCBO / AGCO compliance, and industry rebate programs strongly preferred.
  • Proven track record of strengthening internal controls and leading audits.
  • ERP systems expertise (Sage 300 or similar) and strong Excel / reporting skills.
  • Expertise in financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and internal controls.
  • Deep understanding of beverage-alcohol industry requirements (excise tax, LCBO filings, liquor licensing, rebates).
  • Leadership and team-building capabilities.
  • Strong communication skills with auditors, regulators, and senior executives.
  • High attention to detail, integrity, and accountability.
  • Ability to work primarily onsite at our Niagara Region office with some flexibility to work from home
  • WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Experience in a growing, publicly traded wine and beverage company.
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial team environment with opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
  • A competitive salary and total compensation package which includes generous employee health and dental benefits and other perks.
  • Diamond Estates and its divisions is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and encourage applications from people with differing abilities. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.

    USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – BY RECRUITERS & HIRING MANAGERS

    At The Talent Company, people are at the centre of our recruitment process. While we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools for limited administrative purposes (such as writing creative outreach messages, summarizing interview notes or transcribing reference checks) AI is never the decision maker. Resumes and candidate information are personally reviewed by our recruiters, and all hiring decisions are made by people who bring judgment, care, and expertise to each match. If a client’s recruitment process involves a greater degree of AI use during their own interviews or assessments, we will communicate that to short-listed candidates so they are aware in advance. Our commitment is to use technology responsibly, while ensuring fairness, transparency, and respect at every stage of the process.

    USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – BY CANDIDATES

    We recognize that candidates may choose to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support their job search, for example to refine writing style or gather research. While this can be appropriate, the information you provide in your resume, screening questions, and interviews must always be truthful and accurately reflect your own experience, knowledge, and competencies. AI should never be used to create or exaggerate credentials. Our goal is to understand the real you – your skills, your story, and your potential – so that we can make the best possible match between you and the organizations we serve.

    ACCOMMODATION & INCLUSIVITY

    At The Talent Company, we recognize the value of different perspectives and experiences in prompting innovation, sparking creativity, and solving problems. As an equal employment opportunity organization, we do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based on race, Aboriginal peoples, members of visible minorities, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, persons with disabilities and all other categories protected by law.

    We are committed to Equal Opportunities and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Please let us know by emailing recruitment@thetalent.co if an adjustment or adaptation is required at any stage to support you during the recruitment journey.
